Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation

I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Image scanning has supported consistent security practices during cloud deployment

On a scale of ten, we would say people are happy with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks for the part we use. People are okay with it. We probably would give an eight. We don't give ten because if we don't use the other parts of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, it's because it was difficult to implement from an operational point of view. We could have deployed the runtime monitoring with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, but within our organization at our company, it was very difficult to find who would be the owner for the alerts. People have other tools and in the end, we don't use the full capabilities of a product that we pay for. It's partially related to the difficulty to integrate Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks runtime in our company's support process. We don't use the real-time monitoring part of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks. We don't know about the automated remediation feature of Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks.

Granular protection has improved cloud workload visibility and reduced breach and ransomware risk

Trellix Cloud Workload Security is important in our organization because it reduces our risk of data breaches, protects from ransomware, and addresses the misconfiguration of cloud resources such as AWS and Azure. If any lateral movement has occurred in our infrastructure, it provides me with an alert, along with notifications of any container misconfiguration. We also receive continuous visibility of servers and compliance assurance for our vulnerability protection, ensuring that if something is not patched or vulnerable, the vulnerabilities are fixed. The best feature of Trellix Cloud Workload Security is the granular level implementation and configuration of ransomware protection, which includes a threat prevention module and vulnerability protection, allowing us to protect our servers with the help of container security. When discussing the granular level implementation in Trellix Cloud Workload Security, it means that when we configure the policies for threat prevention, we can define many aspects such as the type of file, kernel level, boot level, execution read-write time, memory-specific, and application-specific parameters. We can configure it properly based on our knowledge and also define the schedule for anti-malware scanning and updates. Trellix Cloud Workload Security has positively impacted our organization by improving our visibility across cloud and infrastructure, showing how many workloads we have and what is occurring with those workloads. It enhances protection against threat monitoring through real-time alerts and addresses misconfiguration and vulnerabilities on workloads and running applications. Additionally, it ensures compliance with organizational and industry securities, facilitating faster incident detection and response, which helps our IT and security team proactively remediate risks before major incidents occur. When discussing faster incident detection and response with Trellix Cloud Workload Security, if any alert comes through, such as a vulnerability detected on a server, expanding the alert provides us with MITRE framework tactics and techniques, including necessary remediations for updates or modifications.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security drastically reduces the mean time to remediate for cloud incidents by shrinking investigation and response time from hours to seconds or minutes."

"The most valuable features of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are cloud misconfiguration, Kubernetes, and IaC scanning."

"They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away."

"The biggest benefit of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is that it has a good AI-based analytics engine that helps with the detection part by providing full visibility."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has impacted my company positively as it provides good protection for the company and for the services."

"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."

"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"We feel like we have power in our hands, with full visibility into what is happening at the endpoint level."

"The most valuable feature of Prisma Cloud is WAF (web application firewall)."

"Prisma Cloud's real-time detection and monitoring of our entire system is the most useful."

"It has a feature for customized security policy. I implement it in banking, health insurance, and other sectors, and every organization has its own customized policies and procedures. In Prisma Cloud, you can customize policies, and based on that, you can do monitoring."

"The solution will streamline and minimize manual efforts."

"This solution will ensure that we've got a more secure environment, mitigating any sort of bad actors coming in and either destroying or disrupting the environment."

"The runtime mechanism on the solution is very useful, and it has very good network mapping between containers, so if you have more than one container, you can create a content data link between them."

"The dynamic workload identity creation, attestation, and assignment is the best feature. In addition, the application dependency map across heterogeneous environments for compliance is a striking feature."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks pros

"From my personal experience as a reseller, what really stands out in Trellix Cloud Workload Security is that it provides focused security with enhanced protection for servers in a cloud environment."

"The discovery feature is the most valuable. After you integrate your cloud environment, maybe an Azure or AWS, or a private environment hosted on VMware, it automatically starts discovering the number of servers that are running on that cloud and the number of services that you have done. It is a beautiful feature because, from a security standpoint, it is difficult to identify which VM is compliant or not when you keep on provisioning a number of VMs in the cloud. It also checks for compliance. It checks whether a system is compliant and whether antivirus is installed on a VM. If an antivirus is installed, it checks whether the antivirus is updated to the latest signature package or not. All these things are beautifully done by McAfee Cloud Workload Security. For communicating with the McAfee server, you need to install an agent on the VM. McAfee Cloud Workload Security gives you a direct opportunity to install an agent on a Windows machine. If you have a Windows cloud, you can directly push that agent onto the VM through your McAfee portal. It provides you a single dashboard view of all servers present in the cloud. It shows the servers on which the antivirus is already installed as well as the servers for which the antivirus installation is still pending. This dashboard view is a much-needed thing. It also has a centralized management, which makes it easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is the application control."

"All these things are beautifully done by McAfee Cloud Workload Security."

"Trellix Cloud Workload Security has positively impacted our organization by improving our visibility across cloud and infrastructure, showing how many workloads we have and what is occurring with those workloads."

Cons

"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."

"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."

"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."

"The documentation could be better."

"In the Analytics section, there is a tab for showing the severity of open issues by day. There are three options: by week, by month, and for more than thirty days. However, despite being aware of many issues open for more than thirty days, it shows no data available."

"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."

"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."

"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The cloud integration is too complex. It should be simple to integrate Prisma Cloud with any cloud environment. Policy management could also be simpler."

"The alignment of Twistlock Defender agents with image repositories needs improvement."

"The user interface should be improved and made easier."

"The UX part of Prisma's user interface could be simplified and the metrics tool should be highlighted more."

"The regional cost of Prisma Cloud in South Africa is high and could be improved."

"More documentation with real-world use cases would be helpful."

"The Fargate security microservice that's running doesn't support blocking features, which would be helpful. Another issue is the lifecycle. It isn't easy to upgrade if we have a console in Fargate."

"When an account is onboarded, if it is missing any permission, it should automatically be updated with the required permissions and policies."

More Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks cons

"We experience limited customer support, typically requiring a minimum wait of three to four hours for ticket responses."

"I still believe the support could improve because we face multiple challenges with Trellix support for solving issues, which take too long."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

"Its vulnerability assessment is not the best. We cannot identify the vulnerabilities that are related to the operating system by using McAfee Cloud Workload Security. I wish McAfee would add a vulnerability assessment tool that will not only identify the vulnerability but will also be able to generate a report so that the required patching can be done for the servers. Currently, McAfee Cloud Workload Security only integrates with AWS and Azure. If it can also integrate with GCP, Alibaba, and other cloud services available in the market, it would be good because not all people are using Azure and AWS."

"Its vulnerability assessment is not the best. We cannot identify the vulnerabilities that are related to the operating system by using McAfee Cloud Workload Security."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."

"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."

"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."

"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."

"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"Prisma Cloud licensing works on credits."

"It is an expensive tool. It is not cheap technology. It is a serious investment for any customer. Customers typically buy it together with services. In my experience, customers buying Prisma Cloud are prepared to pay for the implementation and the tool itself."

"Its price is reasonable as compared to other products. The main challenge is explaining the licensing model to customers. It isn't a problem related to Palo Alto. Commonly, people don't understand cloud licensing or security licensing. When they have fixed virtual machines, they know what they are going to be charged, but when it comes to cloud automation, it is hard for them to get clarity in case of high workloads or when they have enabled auto-scaling, etc. It would be helpful if Palo Alto can educate people on their licensing programs."

"The pricing of the solution is fair."

"Prisma Cloud is more expensive than some other solutions, but when we consider all of its use cases, the cost averages out."

"Prisma Cloud's licensing system functions as expected with a solid licensing infrastructure."

"The pricing is competitive; for the most part, the security firms have similar prices."

"Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks carries a higher cost, but its enhanced security measures justify the expense."

"It is not an expensive product. I am in the Indian market, and it is one of the most reliable and cost-effective solutions."
